Serving Tips: Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor. Pair with a dollop of whipped cream or more fresh strawberries for added decadence.

Storage Tips: Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you’re storing leftovers, it’s best to keep them in the fridge to preserve the freshness of the frosting.

Variations:

Lighter Version: For a lighter take, substitute the butter with applesauce and use a sugar substitute for the sweetener.

Chocolate Strawberry Cake: Add cocoa powder to the flour mixture to create a chocolate-strawberry hybrid cake.

Vegan Version: Replace the eggs with flax eggs and use non-dairy butter and cream cheese.
